Dear i,

I couldn't disagree with your doc more. I am not on a diet and never

will be on another diet again. I eat what I want, when I want and as

much as I want. I have never felt this free from food guilt before.

My only rule is to take my vitamins (ADEKs is a chewable water

soluble version of vitamins A,D,E & K since we malabsorb fats) and

eat protein at almost every meal. After that, I basically eat

everything. Good luck.

I wonder if your doctor was thinking of the RNY where many people are

lactose intolerant and can't eat some foods like string beans or corn.

Hi! This is Sharon. I just got back from the doctor. My open wounds are

infected again so the doctor is going to go in and take the new stuff out. This

will be surgery #8. Then he says prepare myself for surgery #9 because with

out any support in there I will get hernias.

I'd appreciate all of you praying for me during this time. That's what always

brings me through this.

Talk to you later. Love, Sharon

,

I think you should be admired for taking this step. It is not the easy way out

from everything that I have read and all the research I have done. I think

sometimes people try to talk us out of it because they don't understand or they

are scared. You hang in there. I know what it feels like to not be able to do

what your family and friends are able to do. You have to make the right

decision for yourself and don't let anyone sway you once you make it. As for

your daughter's boyfriend. Until he is ready to make the decision to make a

better life for himself he won't do it. No one could have told us that we

needed to loose the weight and made us do it. We all know we need to loose the

weight be have to come to that decision to act on it ourselves. Way to go with

your decision. This is a great place for support.

hi

im from New Jersery,and ive done weight watchers i lost 78 lbs,but

you do gain it back,i once took my children to disneyworld i got

stuck in the counter at the haunted mansion ride,i was soooooooo

upset i pushed my way through i spent the rest of the day sitting on

the bench watching my family enjoy themselves,i cried it was

horrible i had hurt my stomach also,people say to me your taking the

easy way out nooooooo im not i had my surgery which was open may

24,2004 ive lost 32 lbs,i was 300 im 5'2,which is very heavy i now

have ankles, this is a big decision,i was scared changed my mind

when i had gotten there but i went through it, i know i have a long

way to go but i will get there,i think the hardest thing i have ever

done was this surgey,im healthy no problems,i just knew i wanted

more from life then food,i think food becomes our best friend we

just go over board i ate everything ,i think its sad how many people

find themselves in this siuation ,sometimes i could just cry when i

see someone as heavy as me or worse heavier, my daughter boyfriend

is tall hes 23 years old weighs about 500 lbs thats sad,hes about

5'8 i tell him all the time you are killing yourself, i gave him all

my weight watchers books,never looked at them, everyone i knew was

against this surgery, i said being heavy is just as risky as the

surgery, i felt i needed this to prolong my life,i want to be able

to play with my kids, fit in booths,it is a big decision but if you

want a new begining i think this is a start to a new life, i wish

everyone luck, mary

I do think sugar can contribute to a large baby, but don't quote me on that. :)

My midwife was always telling me to stay away from sugar.

Anyway, my kids were 6 lb 10 oz, 8 lb 3 oz, and 10 lb 3 oz. I was a bit

nervous to have #4 as I thought he'd go up another 2 pounds. LOL He was 7 lb

14 oz, but I do think he would have been closer to 10 or 11 pounds if he hadn't

had spina bifida.

My dh keeps discussing with people how I look different this time....just

discussing the size and shape of my body as if it's a '57 Chevy or

something....geeze. Men are weird.

s.

Re: hi

Isn't it amazing the different things people say? In the space of 10

minutes you'll have one person saying how " small " you are...and the

next insisting you must be having twins because you're so huge! And

then when the baby's born--one person swears it looks exactly like

your husband, the next swears it's your twin!! People are crazy!

I do like how close the kids are, the get along pretty well and play

together constantly. The only thing I regret is that we're going so

quickly from LOTS of babies to NO babies, and I think I'll miss the

baby stage, KWIM?

Adopting sounds nice, we had discussed doing that at some point but

it's not really an option right now. It's amazing the things you

don't realize you miss--like NOT wiping poopy hineys 10x a day or

being able to sleep through the night...I think that's what makes it

so much harder to have another one once you're past those phases.

What a funny way to find out you're pg!! I found out about Ava

because I dreamed I was pg, and had a little girl and her name was

Ava, and it was one of those dreams that are so real you wake up

going " Did I have another baby?? " I laid there thinking how

strange/realistic it was...then I started counting days....the rest

is history. I really think my body was trying to tell me I was pg,

because I was already almost 6 weeks. But I wasn't concerned b/c I

was very irregular after #2 was born.

Well, hopefully I don't have any little " surprises " soon, unless

they're the sparkling diamond kind from my husband!

--Thanks for describing your experience. I have read several times that some patients have actually walked into the operating room! I was wondering if they weighed you before surgery. I don't remember ever hearing about the shot in the stomach. I bet that hurt. This is all so important for me to hear about since I will eventually have surgery at Richmond as well. I am still working on losing that stubborn 10%. How long did it take for you to lose yours?

It is funny what we all remember about the surgery. I remember in pre-

op and them walking into to the room. I don't even remember getting on

the table or the recovery room AT ALL. I do remember how cold the room

was when I walked in. But my lack of memory is just fine with me since

the results have been so great.
